Set the width to be x. Thus, the length is 4x.
The perimeter is 2(x+4x)=100, so x=10.
Plugging in x=10, you get that 4x=40.
So, the area of the rectangle is 400 
.
Because there are 100 centimeters in a meter and you are asking for area, you must multiply by 
to get 4000000 
.
Answer:
17 pieces of fruit in total
Step-by-step explanation:
2x7=14+3=17
Prob(spinning a number < 3on 1 spin) = Prob( spinning 1 or 2) = 2/5
Prob( spinning <3 3 times) = 2/5 * 2/5 * 2/5 = 8/125
These events are independent so we multiply the probabilities.
When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:
Parenthesis
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
Otherwise known as PEMDAS.
We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:
+ and + always equals +.
- and - always equals +.
- and + always equals -.
+ and - always equals -.
So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:
-2x^2 - 10x + 8
Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!
